BIOGRAPHY

I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and my journey has taken me across continents: from South America to Miami nearly 30 years ago, then to Milan, Italy, and finally back to Miami. Along the way, I shared life’s adventures with my family, finding inspiration in each place we called home.
During the pandemic, as the world paused, I found motion in color. Brushes and paint replaced sanitizing sprays, and canvases became a way out. Although art had always been present in my life, time had never allowed it to fully emerge.
Painting became more than an escape—it was a return, a rediscovery of something innate yet long overlooked. Letting go of perfection, I embraced experimentation and found freedom in abstraction: a practice rooted in color, material exploration, and the use of recycled elements as a means of transformation.

STATEMENT

A central element of my work is the use of recycled and repurposed materials: rescued canvas, wooden panels, cardboard, metal scraps, and leftover enamels. This is both an aesthetic and an ethical choice. I believe deeply in abstract art’s potential to reflect on consumption, reimagine materials, and contribute to a more sustainable world.
Rather than imposing precision, I allow the elements to guide the process. Their imperfections remain visible, creating spaces where different ideas, dreams, and perspectives can coexist. I create each piece with the hope that it will find a place where its story can continue—a conversation beyond my studio walls.
Each work carries the energy of its making, waiting to resonate in a new space and to inspire connection.
